[Music of the Day] Voltaj - Ultima Secunda
Click to viewI am a fan of the Romanian band Voltaj, and this is their song, "Ultima Secunda". Title means "Last Second", and it's a cover of an Indonesian song. See the band in the background at
0:17 playing the song. Beautiful video and song, with the parallel panels. I really like Calin Goia's voice--he has a distinctive tenor sound with a mix of rock grit and light sweetness. I would recognize it anywhere. And with this video, you don't need to understand Romanian to get an idea of what it's about.

Translation through Google Translate (because they don't have an English translation up on that site yet):
Last Secunda
And if the night would you want to hide,
Eyes closed, I would find.
And if morning would be nowhere
I want to know, I'd be.
And if autumn will bring rain,
And if winter will white
I know that you would be.
-----
chorus
Up-n last second of the last day,
Until the sun will climb to know,
Are your ladder
So I want to tell you that you are
My half, a world I'd fight
My half, to be mine.
-----
To be mine.
And if tears will bathe your eyes,
The joy they will be
I know you'll be.
chorus
Mine (2X)
You'll always be mine.
